2. FNAL Meeting, July 2006 Basti, Bedeschi, Raffaelli, INFN-Pisa 2 Ongoing work (1)  ASME characterization of components  Vacuum vessel:  Verifications done:  Max allowable pressure.  Minimum thickness required for Vessel.  Nozzle thickness checks.  Calculation of the opening reinforcing areas.  Stresses from static loads : Reactions from supports (local stress and stress from bending moment). Local loads on Post openings. Local loads from lifting brackets.

3. FNAL Meeting, July 2006 Basti, Bedeschi, Raffaelli, INFN-Pisa 3 Ongoing work (2)  ASME characterization of components  The GRP, cooling pipes, cold mass: design pressure checks at the operating temperatures, verification of external loads, EXPECT COMPLETION BY SEPTEMBER 2006  Follow-up: Calculation maintenance. Critical revision of design: Many specs exceed ASME Worth considering reducing some requirements

4. FNAL Meeting, July 2006 Basti, Bedeschi, Raffaelli, INFN-Pisa 4 Ongoing work (3)  FEM analyses:  Simple FEM of CRY-4 module using beam elements. Model used to study: vacuum vessel support positions, POST positions, normal modes of vibrations.

8. FNAL Meeting, July 2006 Basti, Bedeschi, Raffaelli, INFN-Pisa 8 Ongoing work (5) :  Normal modes of vibration in chosen configuration:  two supports (A/2=3500), POST = 4300 mm  We considered two limits cases to model the POST connection between the vacuum vessel and the GRP:  CASE 1) all degrees of freedom fixed between the vacuum vessel nodes and GRP nodes (in the Post positions).  CASE 2) rotation along z axis (perpendicular to vessel axis) free between the vacuum vessel nodes and GRP nodes (in the Post position).
